    089: What does "good design" even mean when anyone can build anything?

    Just the two of us this week for a cozy chat about a question that keeps circling back: what actually makes a product well designed, now that anyone can build almost anything? We get into intentionality, what design interviews are actually assessing right now, and whether you can still tell a human-made design from a machine-made one. Happy listening! ☕️ Subscribe to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    087: On Good Design and Engineering Collaboration with Sam Garson

    In this episode, we sit down with Sam Garson, an engineer by trade, to talk about what good design and engineering collaboration actually looks like in practice. We get into psychological safety, why functional handoffs break teams, the importance of soft skills, and what it takes to build a team where designers and engineers have high trust for each other.

    086: How to Utilise AI in Your Design Workflow

    We explore the integration of AI into design workflows, and how tools such as Claude and Figma Make can enhance ideation, prototyping, and collaboration. Our chat highlights the importance of balancing AI use with human interaction, the evaluation of AI outputs, and the need for us designers to actively engage with AI to maximise its potential. We also talk about the challenges and limitations of AI tools and encourage our listeners to experiment with AI in your design processes.

    085: From Manager to IC, Archie Tep on Returning to the Craft

    In this episode, we sit down with Archie Tep, a design leader who spent seven years as Head of Design before stepping back into an IC role. We talk about what it really takes to be a good manager, why going back to IC is brutal if you've lost touch with the craft, and what that transition actually looks like in 2026.

    084: Is the Design Process “Dead”?

    In this episode, we tackle the myth of the 'dead' design process, exploring how adaptable and context-dependent it truly is. We dissect misconceptions fueled by advancements and trends in AI and vibe coding. And we champion the importance of a flexible, question-driven approach to design, which ultimately results in the best process.
